Question

1. measure with cubits. then measure with palms.

object | cubits | palms
table row with a table icon

1. circle the true statement.

it will take more palms than cubits to measure the length of a bike.

it will take more cubits than palms to measure the length of a bike.

(partially visible: \2. how long is the ...\ with cubits and palms fields)

Explanation:

Question 1 (Measure with cubits and palms)

Since the actual measurement (counting the number of cubits and palms for the table) would require physically using the cubit (length from elbow to fingertip) and palm (length of a palm) units to measure the table, we assume a typical small table:

Step1: Measure with cubits

A cubit is a longer unit than a palm. For a small table, let's say it's about 1 cubit (since a cubit is around 18 - 22 inches, and a small table's length might be around that or a bit less, but for simplicity, let's assume 1 cubit).
So Cubits for table: \( 1 \)

Step2: Measure with palms

A palm is a shorter unit (about 3 - 4 inches). Since 1 cubit is about 6 palms (if 1 palm is 3 inches, 18 inches = 6 palms), so for the same table, the number of palms would be more. Let's say the table is about 6 palms (since 1 cubit ≈ 6 palms).
So Palms for table: \( 6 \)

Question 2 (Circle the true statement)

A cubit is a longer unit of measurement than a palm (a cubit is the length from the elbow to the tip of the finger, and a palm is the length of the palm). When measuring the same object, a longer unit will require fewer counts, and a shorter unit will require more counts. So to measure the length of a bike, since a palm is shorter than a cubit, we will need more palms than cubits.

Answer:

Question 1:

Object	Cubits	Palms

Question 2:

Circle the statement: "It will take more palms than cubits to measure the length of a bike."
